The Yankees made a small but intriguing move on Monday morning, inviting veteran left-handed pitcher Rob Zastryzny to spring training.

His role with the Yankees is still undefined, but he offers a different look as a low-strikeout, weak-contact pitcher—a style the team could use to balance their bullpen.
